Hi, There! I hope you’re having a fantastic week. Can you believe it’s already Wednesday? I wanted to take a break from working on a few other projects and upload some photos of my summer living room refresh! About a month ago, I had the urge to add a ton of color to my living room. I was just sick and tired of how dark space was all the time, and I figured it would a fun change-up for spring. Will I keep this style for a while? Who knows! But it’s pretty fun right now, and it makes me happy sitting in a room filled with color. If you’re a frequent reader here, you know I’m obsessed with bright and colorful things.
I mentioned in my recap post this week that I’ll most likely be moving in the spring. We will begin our looking process at the beginning of the year or possibly play around with the idea of building. I love my place now, but the dogs need a better yard to run in, and we are starting to outgrow it. My goal is to take all of these colorful accents like the rug, the pillows, and the coffee table and bring them into my future office. One of the requirements for our next home is making sure it has two home offices, and all of these accents will be going into it. The next living room I decorate is going to be a bit more subtle, but still cozy. When the home search time comes, I’ll make sure to take you all along with me during the process!
I have gotten a lot of questions about my creamy sectional. I would love to share where it’s from, but I don’t want anyone to make the same mistake I did and purchase it. I thought the style looked great, and it fit my room like a glove, but the couch is not very comfortable, and the quality is not excellent. This couch will most likely go in one of the extra rooms in the next house, and we’ll be on the search for the perfect living room couch. But, the dogs love it 😉
Target, Homegoods, Kirkland’s, Hobby Lobby, World Market, and At Home are my favorite places to buy home decor.
The teal chair is getting a new home, and I’ll be replacing it with a creamy recliner.
I ended up changing out the lampshades to a lighter grey to take away the yellow tint that the light gives off. ♥️ ‘
Questions for you!
- How would you describe your style?
- Have you ever decorated out of your comfort zone?
- What spot in your space needs a makeover?
Next, I’ll be sharing the details on the guest bedroom refresh!

Oh goodness your place is so adorable! And honestly looks so cozy too. It definitely feels very YOU there. I’m potentially moving in with my boyfriend in the next season and was wondering how, and if, you collaborated with Kyle on the decoration style of the rooms? Or if he was okay with the place being much more feminine? Its hard to find a balance of masculine meets feminine in a shared home!
Taralynn McNitt says
Thank you!!!
Kyle does not care at all when it comes to the decor so he’s really easy to live with. I know for sure that this colorful look is just a phase and I’ll use the decor in the room for my next office, but he’s pretty easy going 😊 I mean if I painted the walls pink, he’d probably say something 😆

Looks awesome. Wish I had the motivation to redo mine.
Taralynn McNitt says
Thanks, Shannon! I think because I work from home, I’m always looking to change up the room 😃

How does the building process work?
Taralynn McNitt says
It all depends on what route you take. Whether you’re building on a lot you purchased, or a lot you purchased in development with HOA.
Kristin says
I love your splashes of color! I am guilty of sticking to greys and not much color so this definitely helps inspire me to add some more color! I think I have those same curtains, or very similar!
Taralynn McNitt says
The Tommy Hilfiger ones!?
Color is so fun for the summer months and if I want to tone it down, I’ll just swap out the pillows 😊

Looks great! You pull a room together so well. Do you remember where your coffee table from?
Taralynn McNitt says
It’s from the Store At Home! 🙂 I wish they had it online !
Meg says
Oh cool. Do you know which you are going to do? Excited to follow along!
Ashton says
I made that same mistake with our sofa! It was so cute but it is not comfortable, its so stiff! I can’t wait to get a new one. I can’t wait to see what you do with the rest of your home, did you finish your kitchen remodel and i just missed it?
Taralynn McNitt says
Still working on it!! Trying to figure out the whole painting situation!
Karen says
Looks great, a nice refresh!
Taralynn McNitt says
Thank you!
Michele says
Everything looks so beautiful!
Can I ask where you got the rug? I love the colours in it.
Taralynn says
At Home store 😊
